Delhi Capitals v Kolkata Knight Riders – Betting Tips and Predictions

Here are more cricket betting tips and match predictions. Our experts give you good advice about some of the best odds available.

Bet on Dhawan for Top Delhi Batsman

Shikhar Dhawan is vital to Delhi’s push for quick, early runs at the top of the order. He has been in good form and has a point to prove after being left out of India’s T20 World Cup squad.

As a left-hander, he can be particularly tricky for the bowlers. He hits the ball to relatively unusual parts of the field, which can be tough to place a field for.

Bet on Dhawan to be Delhi’s top batsman in this match at 3.4 with bet365. It’s a promising option, but be sure to check out the others in the same market, too.

Pick Narine in an Accumulator

Sunil Narine wasn’t doing that well when the IPL 2021 restarted, but has certainly found his groove again. He was outstanding with bat and ball in the previous playoff against Bangalore.

Narine floats up and down the batting order and comes onto bowl at crucial periods in the innings. He has plenty of big match temperament.

We really like the look of his price of 5.45 with 1xBet to hit at least one six, take a catch and claim a wicket. This is among their most attractive accumulator outcomes.

Select Ferguson as top KKR bowler

Lockie Ferguson has been really good since joining the IPL. Kolkata have used the New Zealand fast bowler well.

He has some clever slower variations, which often succeed in conditions that need these sorts of changes in pace.

He was instrumental alongside Sunil Narine in removing RCB from the tournament. Ferguson could bring good value at 3.5 with Parimatch to be KKR’s top bowler in this match.
